Best solution to save a corm

Figured a few of you have had to deal with this problem a time or two before.

I acquired some Hawaiian "Apple" banana corms last October and since it gets cold here around the start of November, I...

Re: What grow lights are you guys using?

For what it's worth, my 2 cents. Like Lagniappe I use two fixed 1000W MH lights in my garage to keep my vast variety of tropicals alive. It's worked for the last three years. It's not perfect, but...

Re: Hawaii banana ID?

Bump, anyone got a guess with the new photos?

I left one of these outside this year... keeping my fingers crossed. It's been reeally cold lately, so I'm a bit worried. I've protected the p-stem as...

Re: Hawaii banana ID?

Alrighty, finally some pictures of the mat in which this banana came from. Here are several I took earlier this month when revisiting the site on Kaua`i. They were much taller than I remembered, and...

Re: Musa Dwarf Cavendish finally blooming - quick question about the bunch

Thanks guys, maybe I can find a way to put a little GH over it or something - though it's pretty tight in with other plants, so I'll have to experiment with that space wise. Worst case I will dig it...

Re: blue Java, Ice Cream hardy to zone 7b?

Guess I def better split a pup then. They are a bit colder up there than we are down here in Cola. I figure I'm probably going to loose some stuff, but I just don't have the room to bring them all...

Re: blue Java, Ice Cream hardy to zone 7b?

Gonna try it with some Dwarf Orinoco's and Orinoco's as well. I am going to have to resist the urge to dig up a pup of each - though I may give in just to be safe.

I am also trying to keep a Saba...

Re: blue Java, Ice Cream hardy to zone 7b?

I've put several IC's in the ground this year, some back in April and some as late as July. I am crossing my fingers that with a good mulch they'll come back. Might try and wrap the stem with a straw...

Re: Musa Dwarf Cavendish finally blooming - quick question about the bunch

Six months? Holy cow... I might have to try and dig it up then for the winter and just pray that doesn't disturb it too much. At least then it could continue development in my garage under the...

Re: Musa Dwarf Cavendish finally blooming - quick question about the bunch

One other question while I'm thinking about it. The last few years I've had these DC's I've always dug them up for the winter. They are getting awfully big now and I am curious if they'd possibly...

Musa Dwarf Cavendish finally blooming - quick question about the bunch

It only took four years, but I finally got my first bloom from one of my Cavendish plants. I am still assuming this is a Dwarf Cavendish and not a 'Truly Tiny' - but I honestly am not sure.

Re: Ravenala madagascariensis

Oh seeing them full grown is how I fell in love with them. I saw my first TPalm in Hawai`i - I have been hooked ever since. They are truly amazing plants.

Re: Dwarf or Super Dwarf? - it finally is blooming

I am thinking of leaving mine in the ground this year and just splitting off a few of the pups. They are so hard for me to keep looking nice over the winter (all the bananas were to be honest). Of...

Re: Ravenala madagascariensis

That's the main issue I'm facing with the smaller plants I experimented on this winter - even though they aren't too tall, I chopped all but two leaves off and they have been VERY slow to respond...

Re: Dwarf or Super Dwarf? - it finally is blooming

Here's the full plant - I just put it back in the ground about two weeks ago. It was in the greenhouse all winter (usually I keep them in the garage). So that may have helped the bloom. It looks...

Re: Ravenala madagascariensis

I grow them here, but of course once they get taller than my 11' ceiling in the garage - I have to either sell them or try and cut the leaves off for winter (which usually doesn't work so well). They...

Re: Dwarf or Super Dwarf? - it finally is blooming

I'm glad you asked bc I went out and measured it and my guess of 3' was wrong. The very top of that flower is exactly 2'. The folks I bought it from online said it was a SDC, and from the height, I...

Off topic, but did you see they are stopping that in May (http://checkout.google.com/seller/fees.html?gl=US)? I used CG as well, but their fee structure might make PayPal (especially PayPal micro)...

Re: Agri-starts..

Here's my list (mostly alocasia and colocasia). As for what's on the list so far. Add me for Musa Siam Ruby (3), Musa Ele Ele (5), and Colocasia esculenta 'Black Ruffles' (10).

New items. Alocasia...

LOL, that's bigger than some houses in sq feet. Would be nice though, no more ceilings to worry about in winter.
